Vrndavana - The Land of Krishna

Vrndavana Dhama
Sri Vrndavana is one of the most important holy places in India. Nearby Mathura is the birth site of Lord Krishna and Vrndavana is the place where he performed His childhood pastimes.

There are more than 5,000 temples in Vrndavana. Amongst these, the most famous are the temples of Radha Govinda, Radha Madana Mohana, Radha Damodara, Radha Ramana, Radha Gokulananda, and Radha Gopinatha.

This is also the bhajana-sthali of the famous six Gosvamis, the intimate followers of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. These six Gosvamis followed the strictest standards of devotional service, wrote many devotional literatures and uncovered the lost places of Sri Krishna's pastimes.

Govardhana Hill is another important holy place for Gaudiya Vaisnavas andl is considered to be non-different from Sri Krishna Himself.

To protect the residents, Sri Krishna picked up Govardhana Hill with the small finger of His left hand and held it their for seven days. From that time on, Sri Krishna became known as Giridhari, the lifter of Govardhana Hill.
